Hi,
Yes this was resolved.
Don't use this form much so didn't notice the requests.
My issue was a faulty earth on the Rear Drivers side light cluster connector.
Had to solder a wire directly to the cluster earth to by-pass the connector.
Looks like VW didn't use the correct rating wire when...
Had another go at this.
All works fine when ignition first switched on.
Put side lights on and checked the rear light cluster.
Passenger side was fine, drivers side was pulsating intermittently. After about 10 seconds they all went off, and on again, alerts on dashboard stating to check wipers...
Tightening the negative connector on the battery did not resolve this issue.
Same issue this morning -
Also noticed that I only have the passenger tail light working, no number plate lights or drivers side tail light.
Brake lights work.
Thinking it might be a relay that controls a...
Update -
Just started the car again and everything is working.
This is intermittent so maybe a connector or relay issue.
Any advise on where to check would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
Being about the best Audi forum out there I thought I would ask the question on how much I should ask for my A4.

Thanks for all your advise.

Hi,
I have a 1998 A4 TDI 110bhp (AFN Engine) which I would like to replace the front suspension arms due to excessive knocking.
As the car is 15 years old I don't want to pay a fortune for the parts, just need to keep it running for a few more years until its either scrapped or sold on.

I always thought the Window Auto Closure was controlled by the Central Locking Pump?
When I had a water leak from the rear window and water got into the pump, my windows would open everytime I turned on the ignition. Changed the pump for a 2nd hand one and it stopped.
Well done for getting...
I tried this fix about 2 years ago and have only lost boost twice since then.
The way I did it was -
Put the front of the car up on ramps
Seperate the exhaust pipe under the drivers seat
Undo the 3 nuts that hold the exhaust onto the turbo
rotate the exhaust until you can remove it through...

Try Cost-Co.
Goodyear make.
Looks just like the ones in your picture.
Cost-Co sell them for about £6 ish.
Got mine from Milton Keynes, they still have lots left.
When you say the car is sitting higher than normal, do you mean it is sitting higher than normal before the rear springs broke?
If you had broken springs on the rear then the car would be lower due to the broken springs.
I also doubt that it would settle as the garage suggested.
Why not go for 2nd hand?
Try the following contact, make sure you give them as much info as you can so they send the correct part.
